Frederick pitcher Matt Taylor hospitalized after hit by liner (Taylor tweets he is OK)
Single-A Frederick Keys pitcher Matt Taylor was taken by ambulance tonight to a hospital in Salem, Va., after he was hit by a line drive in a game against the Salem Red Sox. "He got hit by a line drive on the side of the head, just above the temple," Orioles director of player development Brian Graham said tonight. "The doctor on site feels he definitely has a concussion, but he was conscious and they took him to the hospital for further review. Now the doctors will do further tests to see...

Comparing Orioles' Aprils, Chris Davis heating up and take on home games in St. Petersburg

On day that drew no fans, but plenty of attention, Orioles took care of business

On day that drew no fans, but plenty of attention, Orioles took care of business
Usually when Orioles first baseman Chris Davis hits a homer at Camden Yards, he gets to enjoy the roar of the crowd. Yesterday, when he hit one, all he heard was the echo of the bat striking the ball coming off empty seats. He said it sounded like batting practice. But Davis hit a big three-run homer during the Orioles' six-run first inning on Wednesday as they beat the White Sox 8-2 in the game that had no fans in the stands. But for a city that and for the team's fans who could use...

Machado: "I think this is what the city needed" (plus more clubhouse quotes)
With the sports spotlight on Baltimore today, Adam Jones was asked what he would like fans from around the nation to take from today. "The Orioles support the city of Baltimore," Jones said. "On everything. We are out there playing for the fans and the city. That is what is across our chest, and we are trying to represent them in the best way. They support us through the good and the bad, and as players, we support them." Manny Machado said it was important for the Orioles to get back on...

No fans, but plenty of runs, as O's top White Sox 8-2

No fans, but plenty of runs, as O's top White Sox 8-2
Well, the Orioles made noise with their bats. In the first-ever major league game played with no fans, the Orioles beat the Chicago White Sox 8-2 at Camden Yards in a game that lasted just two hours and three minutes. The Orioles have a three-game win streak for the first time all year and a .500 record at 10-10 for the first time since they were 7-7. It was their first non-American League East game of the season, and they improved to 16-6 against the White Sox since 2012, including a home mark...

The Orioles get back on the field this afternoon and play a non-American League East division team for the first time when they host the Chicago White Sox at 2:05 p.m., in a game not open to the public.

Former Yankees closer David Robertson has been outstanding for the Sox, going 2-0 with three saves and 0.00 ERA. Over...

Caleb Joseph and Steve Pearce on playing game without fans and more
Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph said the players have certainly spent a lot of time in recent days talking about the rioting seen in Baltimore. "We are talking a lot about it," Joseph said. "It's our home, too. For six months, this is where we reside. We get to know a lot of people we live around. "It is a little scary, because you don't know what is going to happen. Try to put your faith into those making decisions that they get control of it. We are thankful for the brave men and women out...

Zach Britton and Chris Davis on today's game and moving the Tampa series

Zach Britton and Chris Davis on today's game and moving the Tampa series
It was close to a normal pregame scene in the Orioles clubhouse this morning, just with more reporters than usual. But the questions players were getting were not about their play on the field, but regarding the last few days around Baltimore and the changes that have happened because of the rioting. Today's game will be played without fans and the Orioles are moving what was scheduled to be a Camden Yards series this weekend to St. Petersburg, Fla. to play the Rays. Zach Britton felt the...

After two big wins to end Boston series, O's scheduled to return to the field today

After two big wins to end Boston series, O's scheduled to return to the field today
As the city of Baltimore tries to regain some sense of normalcy, so will its baseball team. The Orioles are scheduled to take the field this afternoon at 2:05 p.m. against the Chicago White Sox even though no fans will be in the ballpark. It figures to be a strange and surreal scene. Some challenges have been thrown the Orioles' way, but they pale in comparison to the challenges for the city and its residents. But for a baseball team, they will be challenging. What was once a nine-game...

Minor league notes on Brandon Snyder, Parker Bridwell, Delmarva pitching and more

Minor league notes on Brandon Snyder, Parker Bridwell, Delmarva pitching and more
The Orioles signed Brandon Snyder to a minor league contract this week and he made his return to the Orioles organization yesterday after an extended absence when he joined the Double-A Bowie Baysox. The O's drafted Snyder in the first round of the 2005 draft, and he's in today's Baysox lineup for the 4:05 p.m. game at Erie, batting fifth and playing first base. Snyder played his last game in the O's organization in 2011 and last played for the Baysox in 2009. He spent the last two seasons...

Getting back to a baseball topic while awaiting next move for Orioles

Getting back to a baseball topic while awaiting next move for Orioles
It was a sad day and night in Baltimore on Monday. The right decision was made to postpone the Orioles game with Chicago and take people out of a potentially dangerous location and situation. Watching the local TV coverage and seeing rioting and looting just made me sad, and innocent people and businesses were no doubt damaged and hurt. Again, just sad. As we wait to find out when and where the Orioles can play again and if they will play at home, let's divert back quickly here, or at least...

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred on Monday's postponement

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred on Monday's postponement
On a night when the Orioles and White Sox game has been postponed by the protests and rioting in Baltimore, the commissioner of Major League Baseball was in Baltimore. Rob Manfred was here for a previously arranged visit and just happened to be here on a day when MLB officials were obviously involved with Orioles officials in monitoring the events. A few minutes ago, Manfred spoke with reporters about the situation and even disclosed that it is possible that games could be played elsewhere this...

A look at Rey Navarro's connection with a former Oriole

A look at Rey Navarro's connection with a former Oriole
For now, Rey Navarro has become the everyday second baseman for the Orioles. Signed by the club to a major league contract in November, he was called up from Triple-A Norfolk for Friday night's game and made his major league debut that evening. It was a long time coming for the 25-year-old Navarro, who was orginally a third-round draft pick by Arizona in 2007. Before his debut Friday, he had played in 885 minor league games with 3,289 at-bats on the farm. Navarro has a connection to former...

A closer look at Jimmy Paredes and other notes from the weekend

A closer look at Jimmy Paredes and other notes from the weekend
The second time around as an Oriole is so far proving to be the charm for Jimmy Paredes. The first time lasted two days. Do we even count that? On February 15, 2014 the Orioles selected Paredes off waivers from Miami. Two days later, needing to open a 40-man roster spot for pitcher Suk-min Yoon, the Orioles designated Paredes for assignment and he was claimed off waivers by Kansas City. But then, in a cash-only transaction, the Orioles got him back, purchasing his contract from the Royals last...

Norris on his outing, Young and Pearce on the offense after 18-7 win over Red Sox

Norris on his outing, Young and Pearce on the offense after 18-7 win over Red Sox
After the slow start he has had this year - allowing 20 runs over 10 1/3 innings - today was important for Orioles right-hander Bud Norris. In the big picture, his outing was probably more significant for the Orioles than their 18-run outburst in an 18-7 win over Boston. "It feels really good to be honest, just to prove to these guys I'm here to help out," Norris said. "These guys know who I am. We have a good group in this clubhouse. Excited with the year to go, and we're trying to find...

Bud Norris strong as O's score their most runs since 2006 in rout of Red Sox

Bud Norris strong as O's score their most runs since 2006 in rout of Red Sox
Entering today with a 17.42 ERA, Bud Norris needed a good outing. All those runs were an added bonus. Norris pitched 6 2/3 strong innings, Delmon Young drove in five runs and the Orioles produced their biggest inning of the year twice today in an 18-7 romp over Boston before 43,802 at Camden Yards. The 18 runs was five off the team record, and the Orioles' most since scoring 18 against Cleveland on April 19, 2006. Today, they scored runs in six straight innings, had 20 hits and had five...

Zach Britton on wild ninth inning and bullpen's big outs

Zach Britton on wild ninth inning and bullpen's big outs
If it is possible to pitch well while suffering a blown save, Orioles lefty Zach Britton did that in the top of the ninth last night vs. the Red Sox. He kept the game tied at 3-3 after it seemed several things went against him. He gave up two hits and one run as a 3-2 O's lead turned into a 3-3 tie, but the potential was there for Boston to score much more than that. Britton did walk the leadoff batter he faced, but then two infield hits and an error on Manny Machado followed. If Machado...

O's game blog: It's Norris against Miley in Red Sox-O's series finale
After last night's amazing comeback win over Boston, the Orioles and Red Sox, who each have one win in this series, play their series finale at Camden Yards this afternoon. Last night's win kept the O's from a six-game losing streak. Since July 19, 2011, they are 44-27 versus Boston, including a mark of 20-15 at Camden Yards. This year, the season series is tied at 3-3, and each club has scored 25 runs in the six games. On the mound this afternoon, Bud Norris (0-2, 17.42 ERA) will make his...

Looking back at the biggest win of the year

Looking back at the biggest win of the year
For the Orioles, that was one important win. In baseball, we don't often see teams go on a tear after a big win because the opposing pitcher has something to say about that. So we will see if this game has any carryover effect. But last night's result for the Orioles sure beats seeing a losing streak stretch to six games and falling to four games under .500. They were not four under at any point last year. They would have been this morning, except they scored twice in the last of the 10th to...

David Lough and Adam Jones comment after comeback win over Boston

David Lough and Adam Jones comment after comeback win over Boston
It has been an eventful, and at times, strange night in and around Baltimore. With protests going on in the city, the Orioles played a baseball game at home and turned what looked like a devastating loss into a remarkable victory. It was kind of surreal at times, and late in the game, an announcement was made asking fans to stay in the ballpark after the game. Later, fans were told they could leave the ballpark. But most of the 37,359 stayed around long enough to see the O's lose a 3-2 lead in...
